An approach to metabolomics profiling of non-infected and Ganoderma boninense (G. boninsense) infected oil palm roots crude extracts that utilize gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and multivariate statistics of principal component analysis (PCA) have been tested. This combination has provided a rapid approach in investigating the changes in the metabolite variations of non-infected and infected oil palm roots at 14 and 30 days post-infection. The extracts were prepared by using 80% (v/v) of methanol. In identifying the metabolites responsible for each differentiation, PCA model was generated in loading bi-plot. Dimethyl benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, methyl 3-(3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate, ergost-5-en-3-ol, (3 beta), stigmast-5-en-3-ol, (3 beta), stigmasterol, methyl hexadecanoate, methyl (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoate, methyl octadecanoate, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, methyl (Z)-octadec-6-enoate and (E)-icos-5-ene were found more abundant in G. boninense infected roots than in non-infected roots. Steroidal compounds and fatty acid derivatives which has been determined in the non-infected and G. boninense infected roots regulate a variety of responses to the G. boninense. The abundant of these metabolites in G. boninense infected roots are due to the crucial roles in pathogen defence. (C) 2020 The Author(s).

Background The clinical benefit of immunotherapy has been limited to a small subset of patients with cancer. Several clinical trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors in multiple cancers have shown some improvement in obese patients. However, how obesity regulates the immune microenvironment remains unclear. Methods Bioinformatic analysis was used to discover immune microenvironmental-related genes associated with body mass index (BMI). The expression of ICOS in tumor tissues was detected using western blot, immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and flow cytometry. RT-qPCR was used to measure the expression of miR-27a-3p. The interaction between miR-27a-3p and ICOS was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Functional testing of T cells based on proliferation and interferon (IFN)-gamma secretion was performed using ELISA and flow cytometry. Results ICOS, an immune microenvironment-related gene, was significantly upregulated in obese patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). MiR-27a-3p showed a negative correlation with ICOS and suppressed the expression of ICOS. We determined that dipocyte-derived exo-miR-27a-3p could alter the tumor microenvironment by inhibiting ICOS+ T cell proliferation and IFN-gamma secretion in vitro. Conclusions Adipocyte-derived exo-miR-27a-3p can inhibit ICOS+ T cell proliferation and IFN-gamma secretion. The upregulation of ICOS+ T cell functions caused by the downregulation of miR-27a-3p in adipose tissue derived exosomes is one of the potential mechanisms for the improved efficacy of immunotherapy in obese LUAD patients.
